The restaurant is named after America’s most famous founding father, Benjamin Franklin. While he was pinnacle in America’s birth, he also became the first ambassador to France. While on trips to Paris, he would wine and dine with the best of them and when he returned, he would bring back the French culture, food and wine, and share it with our new nation. Dishes like Potato Lyonnaise and Crème Brulée were the first of his favorites he shared with America. The Benjamin reflects that bridged gap between the two countries’ cultures. The restaurant and bar is french-inspired, but uniquely American. It sits in Ridgefield's historic district in a 1875 house, but the interiors are modern, elegant and new. Chef prepares dishes like Mussels, Foie Gras, Shrimp Toast, Chicken, Halibut, Duck, and more.

The cuisine is wonderful, thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Fantastic wine selection and the service is impeccable.
The redesigned schoolhouse is a nostalgic view of the past charm of the historic village - a special setting for a fine experience.
Fabulous food, great service and beautifully remodeled. Have been going to this restaurant for many years before it was The Benjamin- they have done a great job with everything since opening as The Benjamin- we’ll be back soon and often!
We enjoyed a beautiful dinner with our grandson after playing water polo. The food was excellent and the Saturday night special of prime rib was outstanding!
